He Asked Me To Pay Up

Raj Shekhar Dutta


Section B
Group -3
Is the Management Justified with the action
against the delinquent worker ?
Labour Appellate Tribunal (Workmen of Shalimar Rope works LTD vs. Shalimar
Rope Works Limited), An act is considered misconduct if
Is inconsistent with the fulfilment of the expressed and implied condition of
service
Has a material bearing on the smooth and efficient working of the concern

According to exhibit5. taking or giving bribes or any illegal gratification
whatsoever is a major offence

From the above definition of misconduct we can conclude that the worker
violated the implied condition of service and demanding bribe can be treated
as major offence

Hence the action taken by the management is justified

Weak and Strong Points in favour of
Management
Strong Weak
Written Complaint against the employee Other 7 people were not asked about the
incidence and just on the words of the driver
the action was taken
He was already punished for 3 days, for a
proven misconduct
Time of the offence was not mentioned in
the charge sheet

The charge sheet should be specific and
accurate such as time, date, place of alleged
commission and also the person against
whom such misconduct has been alleged to
have been committed

Usage of vague terms in the allegation

Date and place was mentioned in the charge
sheet
Precautions for the future
The manager should be trained in the legal procedure and made aware of the
implication of each type of punishment
Witnesses to the incident need to be questioned at the time of enquiry
Peer group influence a greater role in influencing one behaviour. Thus
organisational norms are expected by groups, the task of maintaining
conformity to those norms can be left to the groups. Therefore the managers
should try to engage the union so the employees follow the best practise
Such issues must be avoided by taking the following measures:
They were aware such things were happening so should have taken an
early action
The employees should have been made aware of strict action that could be
taken is found guilty
CCTV cameras could be installed in the facility to stop such harassment
against the drivers
